About Michelle

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello! My name is Michelle, and I have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I have regularly cared for a family with two dogs--a Golden Retriever and an Australian Shepherd--where I was responsible for feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they were safe and comfortable while their owners were away. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a proud dog owner to my two dogs, Bruno and Milo. Having dogs of my own has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy keeping them active, happy, and well cared for. Whether it's long walks, playtime, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Thank you for considering me--I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry family members!

Michelle has been babysitting our two dogs, a Golden Retriever and an Australian Shepherd, Maya and Mocha for the past four years and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help. She has consistently cared for them whenever our family goes on summer vacations, giving us complete peace of mind while we’re away. She is responsible, reliable, and truly loves animals. Michelle makes sure they are fed on schedule, cleans up after them, takes them on regular walks, and gives them the attention and care they need. Our dogs are always happy and comfortable with her, which says everything about the way she treats them. We highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
